Exciting times for Aus3DE 2017

     Who will be on the podium next year?

 

The dates for the 2017 Australian International Three Day Event (Aus3DE) have been announced so make sure you keep the 16th – 19th  November 2017 free to head to the Adelaide East parklands for the Southern Hemisphere’s only CCI4* event. 

The 2017 Aus3DE will once again include four action packed days of world class eventing, and more than $120,000 in prize money up for grabs in the only event of its kind held in the heart of a city.

Having just returned from Puhinui International Horse Trials, we know that many New Zealand riders are making the Aus3DE Event a focus for next year and, fingers crossed, there may be European riders heading Down Under for some fun, sun and a chance to pick up valuable points for the FEI Classics Series in Adelaide.

Director Gill says that talks are underway with some European riders regarding their participation in the CCI4* and, particularly exciting, they are looking to bring their own horses

“With the 2018 World Equestrian Games just around the corner, the 2017 Aus3DE will be an important qualification and selection event for riders, spectators and sponsors, with tough competition across all classes” says Gill

Don’t forget to put another date in the diary too as viewers across Australia will have the chance to relive the thrills of the 2016 Aus3DE with the Channel 7 highlights package to be aired at Midday on Channel 7 Two on New Year’s Day around Australia.
